Trump’s revised travel ban may still hurt tech

The new order sought to alleviate some of these complaints by offering exemptions to lawful permanent U.S. residents and current visa holders from the six countries, Yemen, Somalia, Sudan, Iran, Syria and Libya, as well as staggering the timeframe of implementation.

Stating that the U.S. immigration system has been repeatedly exploited by terrorists and other malicious actors, the executive order says it will ensure that the USA can conduct a thorough and comprehensive analysis of the national security risks posed from its immigration system.

Permanent residents from banned countries can enter the USA, and individuals who are in the green card process and need to travel can do so under a document called an advanced parole.

“The principles of the executive order remain the same”, said White House spokesman Sean Spicer.

“President Trump’s new Executive Order is antithetical to Hawaii’s State identity and spirit”, lawyers for the state wrote.

One likely point of contention with the new order will be the administration’s argument that the six banned countries are somehow linked to terrorism in the United States.

Critics had accused the administration of adding such language to help Christians get into the United States while excluding Muslims.

“It’s possible that enough clarification was put in this document that it would now satisfy a judge who was generally deferential to the executive, particularly on matters of relations with other nations, including immigration policy”, said Stephen Wasby, a legal scholar at the State University of NY in Albany. “And I’m okay with that, because I’m talking ‘territory” instead of ‘Muslim.'” Asked about the Muslim ban, he said, “C$3 all it whatever you want.

That failure raised questions about the new White House’s capacity to govern and to master the political intricacies needed to manage complicated political endeavors in Washington. They will have to convince judges that there is an urgent need to do so and that, in the long term, Trump will probably be found to have run afoul of the First Amendment.

The previous order sparked confusion at airports and mass protests.

But more ominous than any one provision is the discomfiting fear that the order betrays our national values and diminishes our moral standing.

Polls show American public opinion is deeply divided on the issue. It explicitly exempts legal permanent residents and current visa holders, blocking only the issuance of new visas for citizens of the affected countries for 90 days. “The rollout was flawless”.

But he has now stepped away from a promise to challenge the matter in the courts. In the end, they chose to rescind the old order – though Spicer maintained the first was “100 percent legal and constitutional”.

The new version of his controversial travel ban will affect would-be visitors from Iran, Syria, Somalia, Sudan, Yemen and Libya.

Iraq’s inclusion in the first order prompted outrage in that country, including from Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi.

Local media reported that the White House dropped Iraq from the list of targeted countries following pressure from the Pentagon and State Department, which had urged the White House to reconsider, given Iraq’s key role in fighting the Islamic State group. That nation will increase cooperation with the United States on additional security vetting under separate negotiations and its citizens are not subject to the new order, the fact sheet states. “It also slams the door on the world’s most vulnerable people, shutting down the USA refugee program even though the program requires more extensive vetting than any other US immigration channel”. They said that the Federal Bureau of Investigation is now investigating 300 refugees already inside the United States for suspected terror links or sympathies.

“In the last few weeks, the office has received a few cases of Nigerians with valid multiple-entry USA visas being denied entry and sent back to Nigeria”, said special adviser to the president Abike Dabiri-Erewa. Josh Wisch, a spokesman for the attorney general’s office, said last month the firm is giving the state a 50 per cent discount.
